Samsung Makes Much More Money On Mobile Than Google Makes Overall
Pretty insane chart from Horace Dediu at Asymco. He compares Samsung's mobile operating income to Google's overall operating income.

As you can see, Samsung's mobile operating income will soon be twice as much as Google's overall operating income. Samsung's operating income is almost entirely because of Google's Android.

Exclusive: Nest has raised another $80M, now shipping 40K+ thermostats a month

Exclusive: Nest has raised another $80M, now shipping 40K+ thermostats a month | cross pond high tech | Scoop.it

Smart thermostat startup Nest has closed on a round of $80 million, we’ve learned, and the funding was done at a post money valuation of $800 million. Google Ventures led the round, and Venrock participated as a new investor, according to our sources. Nest is currently listed on Venrock’s site.

The company has raised this round to continue its growth; it’s now shipping 40,000 to 50,000 of its learning thermostats per month. If the company’s growth continues at this current rate, Nest could reach a shipment rate of 1 million thermostats per year by the summer, say our sources. Note, that’s shipments, not sales, though the figures are clearly closely related.
